James “J.B.” Smith of Van Buren departed this life July 2, 2017, on angel wings. He was born Jan. 26, 1946, to parents James and Lois Smith. Retired as a wholesale spirits salesman, J.B. was an alumnus of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and an avid Razorback fan. He was a lifetime member of the National Corvette Museum.

Memorial service was July 6 at Ocker Memorial Chapel in Van Buren.

He leaves behind to forever mourn his passing “his girls,” Maya and Madison Pulis; fiancee and soulmate, Jan Marshall; a brother, Donnie Smith (Rosanne); and a host of nieces, nephews and friends. If you did not know him, you missed out.
